Upgrading my rig, Need help :(

I have no clue what my motherboard is :/
My box looks something like
Although mine is custom built.

My plan is to slowly start upgrading parts until the end of the year. I plan to first change the case along with a new motherboard, then the processor, RAM, and finally a new gfx card when needed.

My question is this. I plan to buy this case . With that case, what do you recommend as a new motherboard? Will all the parts fit well in that case, or should i get one set up differently. Anything from xoxide.com really.

I don't want to go out, buy a new case, a random motherboard, and burn my cash in smoke.
Thanks again.

As far as things fitting in there it shouldn't be a problem. If you upgrade the mobo they will send a new panel to put in the back. By panel I mean where you plug your printer, mouse, keyboard ect. You should have enough room in there for anything yo want to put in it. Trust me, its a big case.

another great site for computer parts is newegg.com. i bought my parts for my rig there, and also buy some of that corsair ram, the xms series, great stuff, if u have overclocking in mind. aslo if u plan to buy more case fans instead of something like a water cooled system then u might also want to invest in a fan controller. its a simple rheostat, that controls the voltage to the case fans.

Am i the only person to notice that dudez attackin suggested this guy cut his ram in half in order to upgrade it?
Not to be a jerk but do you really need to upgrade this system? seems pretty suffecient to me. I could be wrong its just a matter of opinion. Yhe only thing i would suggest is that when you do get ready for a new video card go with a raedon. I've had fewer problems out of them

Hrmm ZomBieMann77 he wants a new upgrade. As you can see he says that he wants a new CPU (meaning maybe in a new computer)? I wrote that thinking he wants new RAM for the new computer, but then in a upgrade I would get the same speed RAM (2,700, 2,700, etc) upgrade a little more RAM maybe. But really there is no need for that.

"My plan is to slowly start upgrading parts until the end of the year. I plan to first change the case along with a new motherboard, then the processor, RAM, and finally a new gfx card when needed."

Note: Upgrade RAM. "Then the processor, RAM,"

P.S: Damn ZomBieMann77 maybe you really do hate me (spoting me out like that) . But its ok .

its not that i hate you its that you said something dumb. okay you slamed me in another post because of my gramaar this is just a kick back about your math skills since when was 512 more than 1gb? damn if you belive that i would love to be your banker
